This was the first full length 3-D movie I ever saw and it was wonderful; makes me want to see more movies again. Didn't understand why people brought small children (under 3 yrs old) to this movie, though. It was really long for a small kid, the story line was complex and the creatures were not "kid-friendly". At least they didn't scream the entire time!!! See this movie in 3-D -- it's worth the extra money!
